Biden urged to replace USPS board by Democrats, who said postmaster general DeJoy's policies are

'flawed and harmful'

Members of Congress on Friday called for President Joe Biden to replace every member of the US Postal Service's board of governors, saying they had enabled the Postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, in his "harmful" policy decisions.

"There should not be any toleration for their silence or complicity in overseeing these harmful policy changes that have also eroded the public trust in this agency," Senator Tammy Duckworth said in a letter sent to the president.

Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. said on Twitter, "Americans don't want to hear excuses. We can start fixing the Post Office by firing the leadership."

He added: "Louis DeJoy was appointed by Trump to slow your mail and destroy your Post Office. He's corrupt and needs to go."

for decades! They want to destroy the USPS and then use taxpayer dollars to shovel into the UPS and Fed Ex pockets. The legislation that requires the Post Office to pre-fund pensions and medical care needs to be repealed too.

Despicable!

the most with no Post Office, in fact, some places that meet that description will cease to exist. Guess who rural and ex-burb people overwhelmingly support? Sure isn’t Democrats. So republicans are cutting their own throat with their attacks on the Post Office, a face that a handful of them are starting to see.

and interfering with the timely delivery of medical supplies, bills, notices of default...EVERYTHING the Democrats can throw at him.

Make him an example of what happens when you fuck with what is probably the most revered and important institution in the US.

He needs to spend years in prison!

Self-serving sycophant of Trump with a goal of sabotaging the PO for two reasons: his own gain and loyalty to Trump.

Destroying mail sorting machines and going back to manual labor.

Surely there must be a cost-benefit analysis to make such a business decision. Let's see it.
